Bluetooth Phone Logic and Voice Recognition

Just switched to the Z30. Love the phone hate the rediculous instructions that have to be given to make a phone call. With the Torch it was "Call Joe Smith Mobile1 (or Home1 etc)" and it was done. Now even after answering 5 questions and listening to the software read out numerous phone numbers it still ask if you want to call. Of course I want to make the call that is the whole purpose of the exercise.
Whoever thought this was an improvement well can't say how I really feel.
Then there are numbers that I had called regularly with the Torch without any problems with voice recognition and now it is just easier to pull the car over and dial manually than repeat the name 10 times without any success.
BIGGGGGG step backwards with the bluetooth functionality.
Please fix this mess.

The 'Play voice tag" option only comes out in the contacts which has the pacman symbol by side of the number.
-You would have to open the contacts till you see the details of the contact, if you have more then one entry in the contact you will notice a pacman by the side of the first or default number > select options > you will have the play voice tag.
To use the voice tags is a bit tricky, it works best in a quite area and actually the phone learns how you prenounce every time you use it, so the more you use it the better it recognises.
-Try playing the voice tag to adapt to it as well, it helps.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

Bluetooth Phone Logic and Voice Recognition - Z30 after 10.3.1 update

Here is the issue I am having. Bluetooth calling no longer has the work contact list available or shared with the personal contact side with BB entreprise. Essentially they are one and the same for me and most business users given a phone by the company they work for.
Voice control can't find any of the contacts unless I unlock the work side which btw locks every 10min. with the firm I work for. So essentially my Z30 is nothing but a brick for me while in the car. Can receive calls but can't make calls.
Also the volume controls all reset to minimum when connecting to bluetooth - can't hear a thing. This problem had been resolved with 10.2 OS. Now we're back to the same problem.

My elderly mother hss EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing and not accidentally open any other app and screw something

My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.

I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck.

IOS 8 and Bluetooth Phone and Audio Streaming Failing

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and a 2015 Nissan Leaf, both with bluetooth phone integration and audio streaming support. Both cars worked fine when I had two iPhone 5s paired to both cars and running latest iOS 7. Both phones worked in both cars and could fully integrate to make calls and also to stream audio from device to car.
When I upgraded one iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and replaced the other with an iPhone 6Plus running iOS 8, both are having problems with both cars.
1. Both gave a "failed connection" message but the phones do actually pair.
2. Both cars show a phone handset with a line through it on the in-car display which means no connection.
3. The "5 bars" cell signal indicator on the in-car display no longer shows up.
3. Outgoing calls made from phone and put through car system work fine except for some garbled audio.
4. Incoming calls make the wrong screen appear on the nissan display and can not be answered by the display on the car. Pushing the answer button on the in-car display doesn't do anything.
Lots of other tiny issues. Apple needs a fix here. I called Nissan and they said it's 100% Apple's fault.
Anyone else having issues with Nissan Bluetooth integration or any other manufacturer?

We have a 2008 Nissan Sentra - The bluetooth pairs ok. When a call comes in on my 5S or my wife's 4S the bluetooth does not do anything. The bluetooth does not ring and it does not connect to the call. The call has to be answered on the phone. Like I said, the phones are paired. You can access Siri through the bluetooth to initiate a call. Once the call is connecting, the bluetooth drops off and there is no sound. Just like when you receive a call. Apple needs to fix this. This is completely ridiculous. I WAS going to buy an iPhone 6. I will not if this is not fixed.

Iphone 6 voice recognition not working

I have an iphone 6 and have had it since October 2014. For about a month now, the voice recognition option does not work. I like to use it rather than texting, and emails when I'm on the go and it's frustrating that I can't figure out what's wrong. I have looked through other threads to try and figure out what else I might do. So far I've:
rebooted (hard reset)
double checked that all my settings are correct re Siri and voice recognition
checked that it is not a problem with earphones v. no earphones. Doesn't appear to make any difference
Siri doesn't work either
Checked the microphone to make sure it's not blocked or something
I can use the phone feature just fine.
It just seems to be the voice recognition feature that doesn't want to cooperate. If you have any ideas please let me know!
I'm taking it to the Apple Store next week since I have run out of my own ideas... Thanks!

Hi bishibarnabee,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with Voice Control and/or Siri, you may find the troubleshooting outlined in the following articles helpful, in addition to taking it in to the Apple Store if necessary:

How can I revert back to version 5.1 from 6.1. Bluetooth support told me that version 6.1 is not supported. I highly doubt it. My voice recognition reconizes " Call my wife command".

I just bought a new car. Hyundia Hybrid. My bluetooth is not Reconizing my command to call a contact. I've been back to the dealer and no luck. When speaking to Bluetooth support directly he doesn't see Version 6.1. and suggested going back to Version 5.1 which is documented to be compatable with my Iphone 4s.
I doubt it because voice recognition takes the command " Call Wife" Can I revert back to 5.1 without clearing my phone back to origional settings?

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

IPhone 6 and Bluetooth phone connectivity issues with my vehicle: this is how I fixed it.

With so many threads on this topic, I wanted to detail the steps I took to fix my iPhone 6 Bluetooth issues regarding connectivity to my vehicle and handsfree calling. My phone was pairing with my vehicle without a problem and syncing my contacts and call history but when I attempted to make a call (from either the phone or the vehicle screen) the audio went out and I could not hear the call either through the vehicle speakers or on the phone. The call was going through but I was unable to see it on my vehicle screen and/or hear it either the phone or the vehicle screen.
Based on my research and what I have learned so far, the people having problems are those who restored their new iPhone 6 from an iCloud backup from a previous phone, rather than setting up their iPhone 6 as a new phone. I did an iCloud restore from my previous 5s running iOS 8.
First, I am a Verizon customer and I enabled Advanced Calling on my line. After I requested that this feature be added to my line, under “Cellular” settings on my iPhone, I enabled LTE voice & data.
Next steps:
1) Unpair/remove iPhone from the vehicle;
2) Forget/remove the vehicle from the phone Bluetooth settings;
3) Soft reset the iPhone;
4) Reset network settings on the iPhone; and
5) Pair the phone to the vehicle again and attempt to make a call.
If that does not work…
6) Perform a factory reset, erasing EVERYTHING from your phone and set it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from a backup.
Resetting the network settings seems to be working for some people. It did not work for me. I tried it a few times with no result. I did the dreaded factory reset, paired the phone with my vehicle and had all of my Bluetooth functionality back and was able to use the handsfree phone with zero issues.
I was on the phone yesterday multiple times with Apple, Toyota Entune, Verizon and my Toyota dealer. Verizon blamed Toyota Entune, Toyota Entune blamed Verizon and my Toyota dealer blamed Apple. Nobody had a clue how to fix this issue or what was causing it. I don’t know the exact reason why the previous iCloud backups are killing the Bluetooth connections, I just know what worked for me and I thought it was worth sharing.
Good luck.

The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all. Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.

Why would make a voice recognition software and not give it the ability to unlock your iphone for you?

Seriously why would you make a voice recognition software on a phone that can't unlock your phone for you? That makes absolutly no sense. Maybe you should consider adding that feature in your next update.

Nothing is difficult for the person who doesn't have to do it or doesn't understand it. I would never use it on a device based on the current state of the art; it would be too easy to spoof. Keep in mind that Siri does not do speech recognition on the phone; it does it on Apple's (actually Nuance's) servers; it sends your input over a data connection to the server where the work is actually done, then the reply is sent back. Using the same technology for speaker identification would mean keeping a database of potentially 500 million users and being able to search it fast enough to unlock your phone. AND it would require a data connection. So you couldn't unlock your phone in Airplane mode, for example.
So that means that it would have to be able to recognize your voice entirely on the phone. I'm reasonably sure that's not what Samsung does; I suspect what they do is speaker independent recognition of your chosen passphrase, possibly taking into account tonality. Which means that anyone who heard you unlock your phone with a voice in the same pitch range as you could unlock it after stealing it. It also wouldn't work very well in a noisy environment.
I love Touch ID. It works perfectly almost every time, I don't have to say anything (which is a great convenience when using your phone in a meeting), and it's faster than speaking a phrase. And to use a voice password you would still have to push a button to wake the phone; on my 5S pushing the button wakes AND unlocks the phone. I don't have to say a thing.

Going from iphone 4s to 6 want to know if i can save and or tran my voicemails and voice memos to put on my new phone

Since updating to iOS 5, my bluetooth and signal have been destroyed. Before the update, the phone worked perfectly, connecting to my bluetooth in car for both calls and music. Reception was also perfect. Now, my bluetooth doesnt work, and I cant be heard

Since I updated my iphone 4 software from 4.3.3/4.3.5 - bought brand new only 2 weeks before the update came out - to iOS 5, my bluetooth no longer works in me ford fiesta and when I ring people, they literally can not hear a word I say. It has nothing to do with poor signal areas as they are the same areas I was in with the same phone before the software update! i have even sent for a replacement phone and received a reconditioned phone (after paying excess charge - JOKE!) and the same problem occured when I updated again. I cannot believe there is no downgrade as this iOS 5 is a shambles and to be honest, I see very little difference in terms of apps and photos so i have no idea why apple are recommending this upgrade!
Is there anything I can do to improve the fact that nobody can hear me on the phone when I speak?!! Or are apple going to insist I keep a phone that is of no use to me if I can't actually use it as a PHONE!
Please please help!

Hi,
Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.

How do I hook up Koss CS 100 voice recognition headset to my iMac and make it work?

I just got a Koss CS 100 voice recognition headset to hook up to my iMac. It has 2 plugs 3.5mm diameter (one for the mic and one for the earphones. I cannot get the mic to work. I have tried
Preferences > Sound > input > audio port line in ....external microphone does not work
Preferences > Dictation and Speech > line in (and in automatic as well)......Ext Mic does not work
I have tried every possible combo of above.
How do I make these work with my iMac so I may improve speech recognition for transcription of letters. I am using the Apple speech recognition software supplied with OSX / Mavericks/
iMac OSX 10.9.4
2.4 GHz Intel core2 Duo
4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Moat likely the input impedance and/or level are wrong for the input port. You will probably need some sort of sound card plug-in like the iMic Support | Griffin Technology. Or search Google for USB sound cards such as Newegg.com - usb sound card mac.
If you plan to use Dragon Speech Recognition software, then they provide a headset as part of the purchase. See Dragon Dictate for Mac.
